If one mole of carbon atoms weight 12 gms what is the mass (in gms ) of 1 atom of carbon .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

One mole of carbon atoms weighs 12 g
i.e. mass of 1 mole of carbon atoms = 12g
Then mass of `6.022 x 10^(23)` number of carbon atom-12 g.
`( :. 6.022xx10^(23)` is avagadro constant )
herefore mass of 1 atom of carbon -`12-: (6.022x 10^(23)) `
`= 1.992x 10^(23)g`
